9 A New Weapon (1/2)

”Playing, what do you mean playing?” Joshua asked with angry tone and look on his face. If the person right in front of him wasn't Reed but another person. He would've immediately ordered his men to beat the living shit out of him already. But sadly he couldn't as the person was Reed.

”Well, Daniel here wanted to play a game, and so I played with him and it clearly shows that I was better at playing the game compared to him.” Reed replied straightforwardly as if he didn't do anything wrong.

”Oh, and what game did you guys play together called?” Joshua questioned Reed. Looking for a way to trap him.

Reece replied back,”It was called 'Who Could Punch The Fastest and Hardest,' It was game who could punch the hardest. And it's clearly evident that I was the one who could punch the hardest.” He then turned to Daniel with a smile to his face and spoke again ”It was game you started, right Daniel.”

Daniel wasn't stupid as he saw that his dad didn't immediately beat Reed up. He now knew that Reed's family was either equal to his family.At this moment seeing the look in Reed's eye as he spoke to him, Daniel felt as him the devil himself came down to punish him.

”Yes dad , it was all just a game I created and wanted to play with him.” Daniel lied to his dad in fear that if he didn't play along with Reed, he would be punished even further in life. It was a pretty smart choice that he did, since if he didn't, Reed would've beaten him up even more in the future if he had the chance.

Seeing his son agreeing to inviting Reed to play a game, he knew that he couldn't pursue any longer with what happened to his son.

”So how would you explain to the group of kids laying on the floor over there” Joshua pointed out to the group of kids that were laying on the floor in pain.

”It was because of Daniel being so weak He could only take a single punch from me before he could punch back.. Daniel couldn't win the game so he asked all the other kids to play with me at the same time. But it's clear that I was better than all of them. Right you guys? Reed called out to the kids.

”Yes, we were asked by Daniel to play with him and we lost fair and square,” one of the kids said and the rest nodded in agreement. They too were scared of Reed beating them up again. And seeing that Reed's family was another strong family that was on par with Daniel's, they knew if they didn't agree, there would've been a price to pay.

Humiliation. That was the only thing Joshua felt. Not only was his son beaten up to a pulp. He tried to overwhelm Reed with numbers and still lost. Plus the fact of his own son being beaten up at his own banquet brought the humiliation to a whole entire level.

But what could he do? Nothing, that's right nothing. Not only did he not have a backbone and fight back, he actually went along with Reed to not get into anymore trouble. Joshua now planned to discipline his son when he had the chance after the party.

”My son did nothing wrong as you can tell. So can you please stop interrogating my son.” Reece who has been watching from the moment the fight between Reed and Daniel to now has finally spoken up.

When he saw the conflict between his son, he wanted to intervene and stop him but after seeing how confident Reed was, Reece stood back and watched as it all happened as he hid in the crowd.

He couldn't help but guess how strong his son was but he was sure that his son was a bronze grade 5 which certainly surprised him.

He couldn't help but feel proud seeing his child being so powerful and overbearing. But at this moment he knew that this situation had to come to an end.

”But” Joshua tried to say something but was interrupted by Reece.

”But what? Your son said that they were just playing and those kids over there said that they were playing as well. So tell me, what did my son do wrong?”

Joshua couldn't refute him as his son didn't even try defend himself or told the real situation. He couldn't reprimand Reed in anyway even though he knew that what he was told didn't actually happen. It was just him, everyone knew that they weren't actually playing a game. But who would want to go against the Aniston Family who was at the top of the four great families. Yup, no one would dare, unless they were insane that is.

Seeing that Joshua didn't try to say anything, Reece then called over to Reed.

”Reed, it's time to go home seeing that we caused such a disturbance. We should leave before it escalates anymore. And don't worry about Aily, as I told your mom to take her to the car already”
